Sixun's paper has been published in Nature Communications
We found that even when a fractured bone appears to have healed, bone marrow stromal cells responsible for bone formation retain a “memory” of the injury, resulting in reduced bone-forming capacity when the bone is injured again. We termed this phenomenon “stromal exhaustion” and revealed its underlying mechanisms as well as potential therapeutic strategies.
Congratulations, Sixun!

Motoki’s paper has been published in JMIR Medical Informatics.
We developed a medical AI system that provides physician- and dentist-reviewed information for patients undergoing tooth extraction or upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, while using generative AI for everyday conversation. The system aims to support patients safely while minimizing AI-generated medical misinformation.
Congratulations, Motoki!
